Existing and Proposed Septic Tank Usage <br /> Existing Septic System <br /> No septic systems are currently located on the Site. <br /> Proposed Septic System <br /> A new septic system is proposed to serve the new packing facility (Plate 2). <br /> On-Site Septic Permit History <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department septic permit files were <br /> searched for the Site address. No permits were identified. <br /> Existing Septic Tank Usage in the Vicinity <br /> To estimate the septic system usage in the area, our office counted septic systems that <br /> exist within approximately one square mile surrounding the property. Air photo imagery <br /> from Google Earth was used. Each building cluster on the photo was assumed to have <br /> one septic system. Using this method, it is estimated that at least seven septic systems <br /> per square mile are located in the immediate vicinity of the Site. <br /> The general area primarily consists of orchards and open agricultural land; a trucking <br /> facility is located northeast of the Site. <br /> Septic Permit History in the Vicinity <br /> Based on a review of septic permits on file at the San Joaquin County Environmental <br /> Health Department for nearby properties, most septic systems in the area utilize leach <br /> lines; one permit indicated that evaporation ponds would be installed for a grease trap. <br /> The septic permits can be found in Appendix 4 of this report. <br /> Expected On-Site Maximum Septic Tank Usage <br /> Maximum expected usage on the Site would be from the future employees at the <br /> facility. Septic system design should be based on the San Joaquin County On-Site <br /> Wastewater Treatment Systems Standards (2017) or other engineering <br /> recommendations. <br /> LOGE 1846 Page 2 <br />
